If client has not worked for a period of time, client will need to submit a printout from their State Employment Offi ce or printout from Oregon Self-Suffi ciency Offi ce as verifi cation of income.

Medical Gas Vouchers Social Services will not provide gas vouchers for medical ap- pointments, counseling or drug and alcohol treatment. The only exception is for scheduled treatment plans (i.e.: radiation, chemo- therapy, surgery, etc.) that have caused hardship on the family. Medical gas vouchers can be distributed to meet the need of the circumstances. A copy of all scheduled treatment plans must be received before client is eligible to receive this service. Assistance will end on the date of the last treatment appointment. For a complete copy of policy or questions, contact Tammy C.
